A preservative that is the source of a lot of hysteria and mythinformation.

It's meat scraps that are treated with ammonia hydroxide to kill pathogens.

Then eat meat full of pathogens. Or you could just buy meat ground locally. You should get your terms straight too. "Pink slime" refers to the meat, not to the additive.

It was dropped by the food chains some time ago, but it is still used in institutional feeding programmes, including school meals.

It's been in use for decades and no one has died from it and probably has saved many lives.

Here's a quote from the FDA: Ammonia and the ammonium ion are integral components of normal metabolic processes and play an essential role in the physiology of man. Although there have been no significant feeding studies specifically designed to ascertain the safety threshold of ammonium compounds as food ingredients, numerous metabolic studies have been reported in the scientific literature. Extrapolation of these findings to the concentrations of ammonium compounds normally present in foods does not suggest that there would be untoward effects at such levels. In the light of the foregoing, the Select Committee concludes that: There is no evidence in the available information on ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium chloride, ammonium hydroxide, mono and dibasic ammonium phosphate, and ammonium sulfate that demonstrates, or suggests reasonable grounds to suspect, a hazard to the public when they are used at levels that are now current or that might reasonably be expected in future.

Now, when you find a scientific study, not a hyperbolic news story, that shows otherwise, let me know.

Not an unusual ploy for Solf........................

I read it on the news, too. Doesn't change what I think of its use here.
